    First Reliance Bank Careers

    Leadership makes this commitment

Why our culture matters:

If you get culture right, everything else falls into place. 

As a local community bank in North Carolina and South Carolina, our culture is perhaps the most important component of our brand. We sometimes call it the “DNA” of the company. Having a distinctive and compelling culture means that everyone has a clear understanding of who we are and what we’re working toward.

In our culture, the brand is reflected in how people act. It’s a matter of everyone living our core values and delivering on our brand purpose—to make things BETTER!

From the first day, associates walk through the door, they see and feel the difference. We foster a desire for success and achievement for both our customers and associates. 

 

Bank Awards

We have received a “Best Places To Work” recognition by the South Carolina Chamber of Commerce for eighteen consecutive years. This award comes from rankings our associates give us in the annual survey the Chamber and their vendor distribute to South Carolina businesses. Our associates give us a 92% associate engagement score which is well above the average score of 74% for those companies participating in the survey, verifying our associates think we are a great place to work.

Additionally, our associates contribute over 1,200 volunteer hours annually towards making our communities a better place to live.
